Judd Gregg

Judd Gregg

“The solution to America’s energy needs will require that Congress enact a comprehensive energy policy to address both supply and demand.  The formula is simple – adopt policies now that not only reduce demand but also increase U.S. domestic supply.”  (Office of Senator Judd Gregg - Press Release, 6/27/08)

In November 2004, U.S. Senator Judd Gregg was re-elected to a third term in the United States Senate, receiving the highest number of votes in any election in New Hampshire history. 
 
The 110th Congress provides Senator Gregg a number of key leadership and committee positions that give him an influential voice in national affairs, including serving as both the Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee and as Ranking Member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Agencies.  He previously served as Bipartisan Co-Chair of the National Commission on Retirement Policy, Co-Chair of the Senate Republican Task Force on Social Security, and Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee Task Force on Social Security.  In past Congresses, he introduced a landmark bipartisan proposal to save Social Security for the next 100 years without raising taxes and to move us closer to solving this core public policy problem.
        
As the newly appointed Ranking Member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Agencies, Senator Gregg will assume a prominent role in formulating U.S. foreign policy.  The Subcommittee is involved in shaping U.S. foreign policy through its oversight of international affairs budgets and in assessing and prioritizing national security interests overseas.  Senator Gregg will work to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated strategic plan for the foreign affairs budget to produce the greatest benefits worldwide for our country.
